Maintenance Tips for Euphorbia 'Tiny Tim'

Euphorbia 'Tiny Tim' is a hardy and low-maintenance plant. Follow these care tips to keep it healthy and vibrant:

Watering

• Water sparingly once established, as it is drought-tolerant.
• Avoid overwatering, as Euphorbia prefers dry conditions.

Feeding

• Apply a general-purpose fertilizer in early spring to support new growth.
• Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers, as they can encourage leggy growth.

Pruning
